Hebrews 11:27
Compare all
25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the1 passing pleasures of sin,  
26 esteeming athe reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures2 in Egypt; for he looked to the breward.  
27 By faith ahe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.  
28 By faith ahe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.  
29 By faith athey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.  

By Faith They Overcame

30 By faith athe walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.

Hebrews 11:27

Not fearing (mh fobhqeiv). Negative mh with first aorist passive participle of fobew here used transitively with the accusative as in Matthew 10:26. Moses did flee from Egypt after slaying the Egyptian (Exodus 2:15), but the author omits that slaughter and ignores it as the dominant motive in the flight of Moses. Qumon (wrath) is common in the N.T. (Luke 4:28), though here only in Hebrews.

He endured (ekarterhsen). First aorist (constative) active indicative of karterew, old word from karterov, strong, here only in N.T. Moses had made his choice before slaying the Egyptian. He stuck to its resolutely.

As seeing him who is invisible (ton aoraton wv orwn). This is the secret of his choice and of his loyalty to God and to God's people. This is the secret of loyalty in any minister today who is the interpreter of God to man (II Corinthians 4:16-18).
